The Roaring Twenties

I'm getting in just under the wire here, on Monday...

It's a "Tag Tuesday" of extremes for me...I do think I went a little overboard on the decorations on this one.

The dress picture is from a magazine ad for clothing; the larger photo of the woman's face is from a tiny photo I found in an old album from the era. It was very faded so this "green" tone was the best I could do to show her features.

What I like best about this era is the change that clothing went through in this decade...and the freedom that the common woman began to have to express her own style.

I love your sense of "overboard!" Every element works together wel with a nice variety of textures, sizes, and shapes. I love the colors. Photo-reals don't always have to be in real color! :-) Very nicely done!
